ABSTRACT:
A tripod including a hinge plate pivotally connecting a left front leg and a right front leg capable of side displacement and arranged in an overlapping manner, a rear leg having a fork in an upper end thereof for accommodating the hinge plate when the tripod is not in use, and a camera platform pivotally joined together with the hinge plate and the rear leg by means of a pivot rod. The camera platform, the rear leg and the hinge plate may displace with the pivot rod as their common pivot. A knob is locked to an extreme end of the pivot rod to lock and position the hinge plate, the rear leg and the camera platform after their angles have been adjusted and set. When the tripod is not in use, the knob is released to close the legs such that the left and right front legs overlap and lie against the rear leg, with the hinge plate accommodated within the fork of the rear leg, and the camera platform is turned through a suitable angle to be in alignment with the legs, so that the tripod as a whole appears as a compact plate-like structure, facilitate carrying and storage.
